A British retailer specialising in women's sportswear is coming to Chester city centre.

Sweaty Betty is now hiring multiple roles for its new store on Bridge Street, with an official opening date yet to be announced.

Founded in 1998, the premium brand is designed specifically for women - built with a strong focus on quality fabrics and empowerment.

The Chester site was formerly home to ōH Design Foundation, a curated design shop and creative hub which featured a gallery, coffee shop and shared studio space. It created a platform for local designers, artists and creatives to showcase their work in the city.

The Bridge Street store closed early this year, after first opening its doors in November 2023.

Explaining the closure, the team said: "Our stay at 22 Bridge Street is coming to an end. We are evolving!

"Big thanks to you lovely people, all 51,000 of you who visited our space in the last fourteen months. You purchased over 2,600 unique, handmade products from independent local businesses."

A spokesperson for Sweaty Betty said: "We've been on a global mission to empower women through fitness and beyond since we burst onto the scene as the OG of female-first activewear back in 1998.

"In a world where our to-do lists are endless and the pursuit of perfection is ever present, we encourage women to release themselves from the daily pressure and say, don't sweat it. Find fitness that fits you, however that looks."
